  • Patent number: 7611285
    Abstract: A linear ball bearing having a guide carriage (2) which is guided on a guide rail (1) in a longitudinally displaceable manner and is mounted in rolling contact on longitudinal sides of the guide rail (1) via balls (3) which are arranged on each longitudinal side in at least two parallel ball rows (4, 5) encircling in endless ball channels (6), each ball (3) of the one ball row (5) together with an adjacent ball (3) of the other ball row (4) being held all round in cage pockets (8) of a common cage piece (7), the cage piece (7) having exactly two cage pockets (8) for one ball (3) each from both ball rows (4, 5), each cage piece (7), as viewed in the running direction of the balls (3), being provided at both ends with convexly curved end surfaces (9) for contact with the end surfaces (9) of adjacent cage pieces (7), which end surfaces (9) extend essentially up to the cage piece sides (10).

  • Patent number: 6030124
    Abstract: A linear rolling bearing comprising a fixed guide rail (1) and a guide carriage which has a U-shaped cross-section and partially surrounds the guide rail (1), said guide carriage being slidably mounted on the guide rail (1) while being constituted by a carrier body (2) on whose ends pointing in directions of movement, there are arranged head pieces acting as deflectors for rolling elements and comprising end wipers in contact with the guide rail contour, longitudinal wipers (13) which act as seals and have sealing lips (19) which bear against the guide rail (1) being arranged between the guide carriage and the guide rail (1). According to the invention, an additional sealing lip (20) is formed on each longitudinal wiper (13) and bears against the carrier body (2).

  • Patent number: 5988884
    Abstract: A guide rail arrangement for connecting two relatively displaceable components comprising a lower rail (1) and an upper rail (2) supported thereon by rolling elements (3), said lower and upper rails being configured as rectilinear sheet metal profiles, one of the lower and upper rails partially surrounding the other of the lower and upper rails, whereby hollow spaces are formed for receiving the rolling elements (3) and further slide elements (4) arranged between the rails is characterized in that, in a central region of the arrangement, the two rails (1, 2) define a receiving space (5) for a spring and/or damping element, which receiving space (5) is adjoined by regions comprising the rolling elements and the slide elements (4) and extending in end regions of the rails (1, 2) which results in the creation of an arrangement with uniform load distribution on its components so that a deformation of the components and a pressing-in of the rolling elements is reliably prevented.
